At first I thought these were going to be great. Too good to be $15. They lack the treble that my $40 ear-asers provide but the midrange and lows are good for these filters. However, after about a month they started to wear out. It also turns out that the manufacturer uses a minimal amount of cheap glue to hold the rubber part that is inserted into the ear onto the body of the filter. That glue wore out and caused the rubber part to separate leaving it in my ear. I tried using tweezers to get it out except I couldn’t see into my ear to look at what to grab which caused it to be pushed back further. Instead of risking possible damage shoving metal further into my ear I chose to let the doctor get it out. It’s kind of funny how I bought these to prevent damage to my hearing/ears.

Anyway, I think these need a redesign on how they connect the rubber bit to the plastic body containing the filter.

I tested these at a concert last night, and while they did minimally reduce the overall volume, they weren’t enough to help prevent the discomfort and post-concert ear ringing frustration. First, these are so very small. I have normal, adult ears and these are not large enough to fit snugly. The only way they plugged enough of the volume to keep my ears comfortably protected was to actually press down on them in my ears. It’s possible they might work if different, larger sizes were available.

These might work well for an airplane or office to dull down loud noises, but they are not for concerts or loud music type situations. My foam Hearos do much better at blocking out sound and keeping me comfortable, although I was hoping for something that wouldn’t sacrifice the sound quality.

As a volleyball parent, we spend hours in noisy gyms and some days it is deafening. These earplugs are perfect in blocking most of the yelling and referee whistles while still allowing you to hear people talking to you. I’m counting on these to protect my hearing and just wish I’d gotten them sooner. I was watching the price at around $25, but then the pink color dropped to $15 and I jumped on it.

UPDATE: The first two tournaments I wore these to were fine, but at the 3rd, I went to put them back in my ears after removing them briefly and the round earpiece had broken off in my ear. Fortunately, I was able to remove it, but they are basically broken. Unfortunately, I am a few weeks late for the one month return policy. I checked some other 1- and 2-star reviews and noticed others have had the same issue. Why hasn’t the seller fixed them? Don’t waste your money until they do.
